Overview

  • TRILLIUM LISTED for Ontario's GLS1O and GLE1/2 courses


Learn Smart: Strategies to Succeed in School and Life focuses on helping students develop learning strategies inside and outside the classroom. The text can serve as a complete program or as a supplement to an existing course. Learn Smart features 20 sections of graduated length and difficulty, each accompanied by a glossary, web links, reading strategies, and three types of activity blocks. These activity blocks give students a chance to apply the skills they learn from the text and include prior knowledge activities, reading comprehension, literacy and numeracy, personal management, interpersonal skills, and teamwork skills.

This text is supported by an extensive Teacher's Resource.
